Feb 15, 2008 - What an odd comment: it's marked Adagio, not Largo.Czerny, who studied the sonata with the composer wrote about the Adagio: It must not drag. The quarter-note gets the beat, not the eighth (the meter is 3/4, not 6/8).

Jan 19, 2008 - This movement must sharply contrast with the outside movements which are so frenzied and unrelenting. It should be performed at a much slower tempo and with great tenderness. The thrusting movement here is wholly unwelcome as it disturbs the much needed tranquility.
